Vijayawada: Six students of Fathima College, Kadapa, and a parent boarded a mobile cell tower here on Sunday and created a furore. The high drama started at about 10 am. The Fathima College students and parents started their protest at Vijayawada Dharna Chowk 27 days back. But as there was no response from the state government, the victims of Fathima College climbed the mobile cell tower and stayed there for the next eight and a half hours.
The students involved in this high voltage drama included Kesar Khan, Jakeera Khan, Farook, Noorullah, Hussain, Kishore and Mr Jaganmohan Reddy, father of the student Vishnu. They refused the request of the citizens, students, police and the college officials.
Students on the tower refused the calls of Mr Ramana Kumar, joint- commissioner of police, who reached the spot with policemen. The fire brigades also reached the spot. Finally, district collector Mr B. Lakshmikantham reached the spot and talked to the protestors over phone. Protestors demanded justice and the arrest of the management who allegedly cheated them. They asked for relocation as they were fighting with the management for the last two years. They demanded an assurance of CM, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu.
The district collector informed the demands of the students to the CM who then agreed to talk to the students and gave them an appointment at 9 am on Monday. Only then did the protesting students come down the tower. Parents of the students, officers and police were finally relieved of the tension.
